The US is the most ethnically diverse country in the world. Talk about multiculturalism, you will see it in the US. Just watch television, and you can see how this has influenced their culinary scene. Almost every culture's cuisine can be found in the States, and out of this, fusion cuisine is exploding there. Singapore may have pride in the food scene, but the US is where it is really happening, both in variety, and quantity. Can't imagine travelling the US and eating the country coast-to-coast, you'd die of overeating along the way!

Asians will be largest immigrant group in U.S. in 50 years: Pew study

Attitudes on immigrants varied depending on area of origin

In a major shift in immigration patterns over the next 50 years, Asians will have surged past Hispanics to become the largest group of immigrants heading to the United States, according to estimates in a new immigration study.
The study looks in detail at what will happen by 2065, but the actual tipping point comes in 2055.
An increase in Asian and Hispanic immigration also will drive U.S. population growth, with foreign-born residents expected to make up 18 per cent of the country's projected 441 million people in 50 years, the Pew Research Center said in a report being released Monday. This will be a record, higher than the nearly 15 per cent during the late 19th century and early 20th century wave of immigration from Europe.
Today, immigrants make up 14 per cent of the population, an increase from five per cent in 1965.
The actual change is expected to come in 2055, when Asians will become the largest immigrant group at 36 per cent, compared with Hispanics at 34 per cent. White immigrants to America, 80 per cent back in 1965, will hover somewhere between 18 and 20 per cent with black immigrants in the eight per cent to nine per cent range, the study said.
Without any post-1965 immigration, the U.S. would be 75 per cent white, 14 per cent black, eight per cent Hispanic and less than one per cent Asian, Pew said.
Currently, 47 per cent of immigrants living in the United States are Hispanic, but by 2065 that number will have dropped to 31 per cent. Asians currently make up 26 per cent of the immigrant population but in 50 years that per centage is expected to increase to 38 per cent.
Pew researchers analyzed a combination of Census Bureau information and its own data to develop its projections.
Part of the reason for the shift is that the fertility rate of women in Latin America and especially Mexico has decreased, said Mark Hugo Lopez, Pew's director of Hispanic research. In Mexico, Lopez said, women are now having around two children, when back in the 1960s and 1970s, they were having about seven children per woman.
"There are relatively fewer people who would choose to migrate from Mexico so demographic changes in Mexico have led to a somewhat smaller pool of potential migrants," he said. "At the same time we've seen a growing number of immigrants particularly from China or India who are coming for reasons such as pursuing a college degree or coming here to work temporarily in the high-tech sector."
U.S. births will drive Hispanic population
Despite the increase in Asian immigrants, Hispanics will still make up a larger number inside the United States, Lopez said.
"Hispanic population growth is coming from people born here in the United States," he said. "It is really U.S. births that are now the driver of Hispanic population growth, and that's a recent change from what we saw in the '80s and '90s."
By 2065, no racial or ethnic group will hold a majority in the United States, with whites holding 46 per cent of the population, Hispanics at 24 per cent, Asians at 14 per cent and blacks at 13 per cent. Currently, the country is 62 per cent white, 18 per cent Hispanic, 12 per cent black and 6 per cent Asian.
Pew also asked Americans surveyed for one word to describe immigrants in the U.S. today. Twelve per cent said "illegal," "overpopulation" was at five per cent, "legality (other than illegal)" at four per cent, and "jobs," "deportation," "Americans" and "work ethic" at three per cent each. Forty-nine per cent offered general descriptions, and of those 12 per cent were positive, 11 per cent negative and 26 per cent neutral, according to the report.
Americans also said immigrants are likely to make the United States better, with 45 per cent agreeing with that statement and 37 per cent saying they make the country worse. Eighteen said they don't have much of an effect one way or the other.
About half of respondents said immigrants are making the economy and crime worse, but about the same percentage believe immigrants are improving food, music and the arts, the report said.
Just under half of respondents said Asian and European immigrants have had a mostly positive effect on society, but Pew said Americans are more likely to have negative views about Latin American and Middle Eastern immigrants.
The survey was conducted online from March 10 to April 6, 2015. The survey's margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.4 per centage points.

Not comparing the two countries, one is so large, the other is so tiny, but in Singapore, it never fails to get me wondering why the authorities keep reinforcing that "we are a multi-cultural" society like it was such a big deal and so unique. Multiculturalism can be found in numerous places the world over, and is a normal thing.

Cheers!

US is huge enough in land mass terms to accommodate twice the population of India…..not Singapore.

Maybe the USA can take in some of the refugees that is currently moving into Europe.

I wonder about the same SG multi-cultural society.

I believe that in Toronto, Canada, one can find individuals from almost all the countries in the world.

In Toronto, one can find individuals of all skin colour, hair colour, eye colour, who may be believers of a more diverse variety of religion than those in Singapore, and speak many different languages than those residing in Singapore.

Asian Chinese or Ah Neh?

LA's growing Asian-American population: There's more to the story (Read the full report)

Leslie Berestein Rojas September 25 2013




There have been plenty of reports in the news media about Asians becoming the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group. In fact, immigration from Asia has outpaced that from Latin America. But there are many nuances to this story, something that a new report hopes to publicize.

Between 2000 and 2010, Los Angeles County's Asian American population grew nearly twice as fast as that of Latinos, and more than five times as fast as the general population. That's according to a report released Wednesday by Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Los Angeles, the organization that compiled a new report using census, academic and government data.

For many, the report contains surprising information. For example, while Chinese Americans are still the region's largest Asian ethnic group, the fastest-growing group is Bangladeshis: Between 2000 and 2010, L.A. County's Bangladeshi population grew 122 percent. Of the five fastest growing Asian groups in the county, four are South Asian.

"The fastest growing groups are from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India," said Stewart Kwoh, the director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Los Angeles. "In fact, nationwide, South Asians are the fastest growing Asian ethnic group."

Another overlooked fact: While many Asian newcomers arriving in the U.S. come on family-based or work visas, at least 130,000 Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants in Los Angeles County are believed to be here illegally.

They include immigrants from Pacific Islander groups like Tongans, a community that's concentrated in the South Bay. Alisi Tulua of the advocacy group, Empowering Pacific Islander Communities, says many Tongans arrived on visitor visas during the construction boom and stayed to work.

“A lot of people just overlook the fact that they are immigrants, and largely an undocumented population," Tulua said. "A lot of the community are really hoping for immigration reform to pass, because it would really benefit a lot of the families.”

In addition to a path to legal status, Asian American immigrant advocates have pushed to preserve family visa categories, two of which stand to be cut under the current Senate reform proposal.

But as far as policy implications go, immigration is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this growing population. There are deep divides in terms of legal status, income, education and access to health care. For example, the annual per capita income of Tongans and Cambodians in LA county is below that of Latinos – and just a fraction of that earned by Indians.

“If we don’t disaggregate and show the different ethnic groups, then those groups are going to get left behind and pretty much ignored,” Kwoh said.

Nearly two-thirds of Asian Americans in L.A. County are foreign born. Kwoh believes public policies that help integrate the many different types of immigrants – for example, better access to English classes for newcomers – will help guarantee these families can fully participate in the wider society.

That's true. English and French are the two official languages of Canada, but in Toronto, after English, the second most common language is Cantonese, followed by Tamil. And when you hear English spoken, it is likely to be in some kind of non-native of accent!

Cheers!

Exactly and you know why?

The authoritarian LEEgime is just projecting its own anxieties onto the Sinkie population. It reveals they don't really know how to solve racially-motivated riots in a politically-correct manner if and when they do arise.
